Hang on, what’s wrong with Chrome’s JS errors? On SEO, that’s not my business; get someone else to answer (hint to anyone else here).

Why not use Xmarks? It works great to keep bookmarks synced. I use it between home and work, both Firefox, but it is available on Chrome too.

There is only SEO for Chrome as i have mentioned above, if there is any other extension, please if you can tell me where to download it which tells me PR of the page like google Toolbar.

Also regarding the JScript errors, they are not as simple as Fireworks or IE.

Dont misunderstand me, I use Chrome as my Primary Browser, but as we are discussing, things can be better for general users.

The lack of the ability of automatic synchronization of my bookmarks between browsers is the reason that I do not use Chrome at all. In the office where I work I need IE for our application and at home I use Firefox because I can access my bookmarks through the Google toolbar, so I need this synchronization. I do not care about presence or lack of an additional toolbar, but I care to access my bookmarks everywhere independently of the browser brand I use. If Chrome will provide me with the access to my bookmarks that I use in Firefox and IE I will switch to Chrome instead of Firefox at home.

What’s funny is that over 2 years later this is still being discussed, and even funnier in the same exact way.

2009: “A toolbar isn’t neccasasry because of performance and screen real-estate.”

2009: “Thats a bit prescriptive. I would like all the tools I use in one easy accessible place. I’d rather not search high and far for semi-functional extensions.”

2009: “No you’re wrong you don’t want it to effect your performance.”

2009: “Actually STFU and don’t worry about my performance, I want the toolbar.”

2011: “You still don’t want a toolbar because of “Performance” (Side bar this is a pretty silly argument, does it really matter if a page loads in 0.01 seconds or 0.05 secs?)

2011: “Actually I still do, and you’re really still me what I want and don’t want?”

2011: “Here are some crappy semi-functional extensions that don’t do everything in one place like the googletoolbar. ”

2011: “This is comedy.”

@James You (<<

Mother Russia has your monthly toilet paper allotment ready for you.

I know how I use my computer, and enjoy utilizing features that cut down on clicks, drags and typing i.e. typing a search query one time and having the ability to, in a single click, search for any word within that query across web pages that would take days to read in their entirety.

I do not believe the problem to be people whom cannot articulate themselves, so much as folks like you James who for whatever reason a) can't comprehend what is being written or/and b) think we should all do things exactly like you do, that being the only way to do them in the mind of unthinking robot masses we can label James, James1, James2 etc…

I choose willingly to give up computing resources and screen space to incorporate a feature I enjoy and use every time I use a web browser, I would not ask you, James, to install it just because I like it. Please forward me a list of what outfits I am to wear for next week…

The people here complaining about lack of features are far too vague. How do you expect an extension if you can’t even say what you want?

@beverly751, I think you mean that you want to search a page for a number of words simultaneously. You probably want http://goo.gl/uLj50, and separate words by pipe characters (|).

@Sam, how hard is ? Or, if you can’t do that, go to Wrench -> Find…
Also, it’s not just about screen space, it’s about performance as well. I can’t do with much more performance loss.

Google Chrome alone will not do what I need it to do. I need to highlight the names of 41 foreign language newspapers inside the URLs on a Google Search in a foreign language. I have tried all the highlighting add-ons mentioned for Chrome. They will not do the job. Using the Google Lite toolbar with Firefox, it is a simple matter to paste all 41 names in and presto, they light up like a neon sign. This allows me to skip all the other dreck I would otherwise be forced to examine. I NEED this capability. If it is provided in an addon, it sill not slow your computer down, now will it?
